Maybe we can get her to come back into the race to simply save the country from both of these tools!
I know, wishful thinking.....
Hi snugs!
I think it’s more like most web sites have gotten faster. Free Republic software was revolutional—the database and features offered, but newer technologies not employed on FR have focused on fast page loads, etc.
It’s like using a circa 2001 PC after getting used to something made this year.
I head a group that receives people’s old, used PCs and refurbish them and give them out to the poor, etc. All have Windows XP on them (in most cases, the old hardware cannot support Vista or Win 7). After I reload everything I’m thinking, “Dang, this thing is so slow! How did I ever manage back then?”
Back to FR; I think if Jim and John Robinson tweak the FR software they could make it faster, but they’d have to do a lot of changes that would change the look and feel of what we’re used to. I don’t think they can scale up. Perhaps they could scale out (use more servers to share the load) so that could potentially speed things up, but that would cost a lot more.
“Good morning to everybody, and Happy Birthday to Elvis (he’s 77 today).”
Good Morning All. As usual, a great post by our resident articulator of thoughtful prose, Bray. I thought Elvis was dead?
Morning, AB. Looks like George S is back on ABC. WOnder if he’ll explain his contraception question.
True Tom but remember all the 100% candidates stopped running.....
Great to hear form you snugs, it is crawling,the left is relentless always attacking us that probably what is slowing it down.
obamao is god... he can do no wrong and will win reelection with a super mandate.
mitt romney won the last debate and sealed himself the position of republican nominee.
A few rats will let the truth slip about how they are all praying for mitt to win.
The TEA Party will be pronounced dead for the 1,998,311,423,671 time.
Someone somewhere will blame Bush.
LLS
I find it take longer to post than it did I keep getting icon as if it trying to find the page each I hit post
The drivebys are desperate to pick our guy. mitt filibustering in this debate.
Yup, Stepinawfulpis just living up to his name with that one.
Listening to Ditsy Debbie is like fingernails on the blackboard. Her motto: I will twist the facts to my liking.
I’ll have to check it later but God bless
Sarah!
She wouldn’t know the truth if it hit her in the face. Already blaming Bush. It’s the only thing she has.
ABC, George S in front of a live audience, replays debate highlights (at least in George’s mind).
Now we get to hear what Axelrod thinks of these debates. Axelrod says 4 million people have obama to thank for their jobs (auto industry).
George asks Axel about unemployment no’s; Axel says it’s going in the right direction. Axelrod says Romney can’t back up the 100,000 jobs created with the Bain deal.
Axelrod says conservatives don’t trust Romney, he shifts around on positions, Bain mentality is not what’s needed in this economy.
Talking about The One’s recess appointments and there is a quick screen shot of Washerwoman. She glances to her left and nods her head. Wonder who is off screen advising her?
Washerwoman is having a real hard time with Wallace. He is not letting her get away with her usual drivel. I expect a fist fight to break out any minute.
Wallace doing a pretty good job of bich-slapping Schultz.
George S on ABC replays Perry comments about the Defense budget. Axelrod says Perry has problems with numbers, gets laughter from the audience. Says obama’s defense street cred (paraphrased) can’t be questioned since he took out Bin Laden, blah, blah, blah. Robert Gates said the decision to take out Bin Laden was the most courageous thing he’s seen a president ever do. (allrighty!)
George asks abouty Jodi Kantor’s book, “the obamas”, and Michelle’s influence in the White House. Swats away any criticism of Michelle......things taken out of context.
Now switching to Huckabee - compares debate last night to Nascar race. surprised there wasn’t a pile up with Romney in the middle of the pile up. (rolling eyes)
Huckabee thinks Romney could run the tables in these first primaries. Last night was critical for the rest of the pack to go after Romney. They didn’t do it.
OH NO!
The Nut is on FNS. (It’s all America’s Fault pass that joint)
Compared to 0bama, Ron Paul is logically sane and Huntsman is a raging conservative.
It remains to be seen but I’m hopeful Santorum can find some charisma and Newt can tame his mouth a little better.
Romney did well last night but he’s still not attracting the Republican conservative base.
The biggest loser last night was ABC and the viewers. ABC for proving how lame they are and viewers for wasting time watching it. After an hour of homosexuality and abortion being touted out as something voters might be interested in, we’re not, I finally just turned the whole debacle off and went to bed.
